The picture above given is pretty on the
page of novel, but its fulhIlme2t does
not come; the table is not always "weli
ordered" the fire burping brightly, or
the lamp welt trimmed, and some day
Theo shows that ne is quite mortal
man, ald wife nor altogether
an angel. Then the happiness Of
after years came TO be balt on
a surer basis, not perfection, but series
OF experiments from which We hoped to
work out the problem OF home ms ktn[.
The sense OF "We" was powerful factor,
the "I'' and tie ''you," disappearing ia
the true copartnership Of ''we."
Satisfied at last that no wOman's il

nobility Of her vocation equal 10 all the
demands Of legitimate ambition, l
sought to qusIfy myself Tor the manage

After many disastrous failures TheO
finds in nome all the comfort his tired
nature demands, and not as sweetheart,
but wife. an content to abide in q
husbands love. The machinery runs ap-
parently smooth, and iithere arise Earring

and bears them bravely, and why should

reserved confidence and G free inter-
change Of views. This much has been
attained, we twain are one flesh, not by q
monetary ceremony, but by a growth
and INTERVIEWING which has resulted from
g true acquaintance with each other. Not
to weary you, the other experiences

that you had more than passing interest
in this field Of woman's work, suspi-

TO STAIN A KITCHEN FLOOR.
To give & kitchen reat appearance
and to keep it clean, it is g good plan &c
stain iC. A farmers wife describes how
it may be done: "Put about an ounce Of
burnt umber in quart of linseed oil; the
amount needed will depend upon the size
of your floor. A quart will go over con-
siderable surface. Mix the lumber care
fully into the oil, trying it occa-
slonally to get the desired shade Apply
it with wooden cloth, rubbing it hard to
get the color well into the pores of the
wood. Then 60 over it with soft, dry
cloth, and after few weeks rub it again
with merely the boiled oil. Once in six
months or more, according as needed,
use the lumber mixture again. With care

ss, using tepid water instead of strong
soap suds, it will lasta long time. If the

will be suficient-n 81 ~
